Still Life Painting

In this class students will develop the skills to represent observed subjects from still life setups. The instructor will work with you individually and as a group; all levels welcome. For beginners, the goal is to create a realistic image, covering the basics of drawing such as proportions, construction and perspective. We will be working in a more traditional and academic way. For more advanced participants, we’ll experiment with and explore the possibilities of using a more abstract approach to still life. Students will divide their time between drawing and painting. There will be a demonstration from the instructor and a group critique at the end of the week.
